Itinerary
We will leave the lush, green rolling hills of the Basque Country behind and after a scenic drive of 1,5h approx. we will get to our first stop of the day the Railway Station District in Haro. It is a district where great wines have been made from the middle of the 19th century to the 21st century preserving their essence, keeping their magic. Our Winery Hopping sessions offer a selection from the wide range that Rioja produces; from traditional to more modern styles and signature wines, lesser-known wines that are proud not to be listed but highly praised by locals. We will get to 3 wineries, from Classical Rioja wineries to small boutique family owned ones, hopping into their wine bars, to taste the best wines of each winery.
For lunchtime, we will head to a local restaurant to savour a tasting menu, a three-course meal including wine of course! After lunch we will visit the charming town of Laguardia, a small picturesque town that is somewhat unreal, as from a fairy tale, with its narrow cobbled streets, with its ancient walls and with that medieval touch of distinction that fascinates travellers so much. Before coming back we will take you to get external views and photo opportunities of the unique architecture wineries as Marques del Riscal & Ysios. For other wineries option or choices, please do not hesitate to ask, all our tours are flexible and could be adapted to your needs.

What they say
"I did a lot of research before picking a tour company to help us plan our trip in Spain. I was attracted by their website and their price was better than the other companies I contacted. The company is small, so you are not paying for a lot of overhead but the service is just as good as the other larger firms that I have used in the past . My guide was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. He added a lot to our trip to Spain.. He was on time and his English was very good. I was very happy with our service. I would recommend this firm to everyone"AlexandriaUSA
"I can’t say enough about Andoni…fun, funny, informative, accommodating. He’s the perfect person to tour with and his pride for the area is so evident on his tours. He’s full of information and anecdotes and it a great translator when visiting places where English isn’t spoken. Andoni even went out of his way to secure a reservation for us at a restaurant in Getaria for a different day…above and beyond."LizUSA
"Absolutely fantastic tour – the Rioja wines are wonderfully unique and it was evident that each winery on the tour had been carefully selected (mix of modern and traditional) so as to provide a more fulsome experience. The lunch was similarly great, simple food but full of flavour. We were also extremely impressed with Andoni’s expert knowledge of the region. Highly recommend this tour."AlyseAustralia
"Had so much fun with Andoni on the winery hopping tour. The wines were amazing, the views were fantastic, and the company was great. Andoni was really knowledgeable about the varieties of Spanish wine, the history of San Sebastian, and the origins of the Basque country. He also helped us figure out how to properly order pinxtos. I would highly recommend this tour to others, especially someone who isn’t familiar with Spanish wines already."GlennCanada
